Inter Seal 21st Scudetto Before Lazio Vs Inter in Rome

Inter head to lazio vs inter at Stadio Olimpico on Saturday evening with the 21st Scudetto already secured and a 12-point lead over second-placed Napoli in hand. Cristian Chivu’s side are no longer chasing the title, but they are still working toward a rare domestic double and a possible 90-point finish.

Chivu’s side in Rome

That trip arrives after Inter beat Parma 2-0 at home and stretched the margin at the top to 12 points. Last Sunday, they were formally crowned kings of Calcio after sewing up first place with three rounds still to play, and the mood now shifts from pursuit to presentation.

Saturday gives Inter a sharp test for a team that has already cleared the biggest hurdle of the season. They have won their last two league visits to the Olimpico against Lazio by an 8-0 aggregate scoreline, a run that gives the champions a strong recent grip on this matchup.

Lazio chase the gap

Lazio enter with a different target. They are four points behind Atalanta, who hold the last possible continental place, and they can still climb into seventh spot through the final stretch of the league.

Their league form has been stronger in the last week. Lazio beat Cremonese on Monday after a 3-3 draw with Udinese one week earlier, and those results keep them in the European race even with little margin left.

League form and history

The recent history between the sides leans heavily toward Inter. Lazio’s last league win over them dates back to August 2022, and the reverse fixture this season ended in a 2-0 Inter win at San Siro.

That leaves Lazio trying to break a long run against the champions while Inter move through the final part of the season with a trophy already secured and a second prize still in view. For the home side, the league table still gives them something to chase; for the visitors, the points now shape how big this title season can become.
